Holgate made some vital tackles and interceptions in that match, a lesser everton centre back would have been made to pay by Rondon.

Well Rondon is twice the size of him so not surprising a young defender had a tough time against an experienced grock of a striker. He did miss a couple of sitters like but it's no reason to send the lad to play with the kids.

So now we are slagging off Big Fat Sam for freezing out poor little Holgate?

He has played 2 games in the prem under Koeman (both as RB), 2 under Unsworth and 7 under Allardyce.

They'll find fault with anything and everything. He's not been very good, granted none of our centre halves have but our manager is allowed to rate whoever he rates. It's not like holgate has done much to justify a place in the team
